Notes on a Method to Transform Digitized Coordinates to Geographic Coordinates; Open file rept

摘要

The process of conversion of coordinates (typically cartesian) obtained from digitizing devices into application defined coordinate systems is discussed. Application of a secondary function representing the transformation of the application coordinate system to and from cartesian space will greatly simplify conversion of highly non-linear systems. Although emphasis is given to cartographic conversions the method will work with a wide variety of digitizing problems.
